Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a first-year 5th-grade teacher at a Title 1 school, I’m excited to create a vibrant and engaging classroom environment that inspires young learners.

Over 70% of my students are low income and 50% are learning English as their second language.

Your support will help me stock our classroom with essential supplies, educational resources, and fun items to enhance learning and create a welcoming space for my students. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a significant impact on my students’ learning journey. Thank you for helping me create a classroom filled with opportunities, inspiration, and success!
